Arnaud Denoyelle is correct; you want to use streams.

The Java 8 equivalents of .NET's .skip() and .take() are .skip() and .limit()

I looked at this link to understand what are "skip and take".

From Java 8, you can do such things with Streams. Stream.filter() enables you to define a Predicate which is your equivalent of take(). You can obtain skip by filtering on the opposite Predicate : 

List<Integer> list = [...];

List<Integer> result = list.stream()
    .filter(i -> i % 2 == 0) //Use any Predicate you want.
    .collect(Collectors.toList()); //Convert the Stream back to a list
